Colorado

In 2025, Colorado will continue to tax the benefits of Social Security recipients. Of note, though, is the fact that recipients in Colorado who are between the ages of 55 and 64 and have an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less (for individuals) or $95,000 or less (for couples filing jointly) can fully deduct the federally taxed benefits come tax time.

Connecticut

Connecticut has a similar exemption policy to that of Colorado — for single tax filers (or married individuals filing separately) whose adjusted gross income (AGI) is below $75,000, benefits are not taxed. The same goes for married couples filing jointly with an AGI below $100,000.

Rhode Island

Rhode Island individuals who make less than $88,950 in AGI can skip state taxes on their benefits, as can married couples with AGIs less than $111,200.

Utah

If you’re a single-filing individual in Utah and make less than $30,000 yearly, your Social Security benefits are exempt from taxation. Similarly, married couples making less $50,000 are exempt as well.

Vermont

In Vermont, married couples with incomes below $65,000 are exempt from the taxation of Social Security benefits; so, too, are individuals who make less than $50,000 per year.

West Virginia

While West Virginia will eventually phase out its state income tax on Social Security benefits in three years thanks to a newly passed law, for the time being individuals who make less than $50,000 annually are exempt, as are joint filers who make less than $100,000. The phase-out starts with 2024 taxes, which will be reduced by 35%. In 2025, the reduction will be 65%; and then there will be no taxes on Social Security in 2026.
